Pros & Cons
Pros
One of the clearest perfect sounding mics i have ever auditioned. Great mic for the price. I use this mic to beatbox.
This mic sounds great for my voice which is i think in the baritone range. It really picks up and enhances lower register. Seems very well suited to my vocal style.
The d5 has a excellent spl (sound pressure level) of 149db at 1% thd. Great tone and cuts out any side noise. Sound is crisp and clear.
This thing is a really solid choice if your primary goal is reducing background noise an bounce-pickup in an otherwise sloppy, bouncy, untreated room. It picks up very well at one to six inches.
Similar to sm57 with just a tiny bit more sharper mid. Out does shure sm58 and senn by far. As nice as the sm58 is, i prefer the d5 for both clarity, crispness, and overall sound.
Highlights

I plan to use it to do interviews and the sound quality is excellent for that application
Great deal on price amazing quality product and the inhome deliveryshipping receipt was flawless
Price
And the cost it a great value
I dont understand how this mic can sound so good and have that price
Competitiveness
As good as a shure sm58 if not better for a fraction of the price
I like it better than the sm58 and very good value for the price
They are a professional mic so no onoff switch so if thats what youre after maybe look at a different model
Out does the shure sm58 and senn by far

It can sound a bit tinny metally midrange but if you can eq it via a console or if used on the right voice type this can be a pro versus a con

I compared the akg d5 to the sennheiser e835

The akg d5 is louder and has more high end

They dont pick up the sound as well and theyre muddy in my humble opinion
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The sennheiser e935 is slightly better than this akg d5 but its also a lot more expensive
